My 1st day & 1st downhill descent~ me on left
Went 4Wheeling with my sister, bro-in-law, and bro-in-law's bro this weekend. I'll be honest with you, being out on sand dunes is MUCH different compared to other places I've been 4Wheeling. I started out a bit intimidated by the sand, but slowly and surely stepped up to the adventure...
Once I'd left the mammoth sand death trap, I took on some courage and pushed a couple more boundaries. I think the courage came instantly when my bro-in-law said, "I'm quite surprised to see this side of you. I thought there was nothing you were afraid of..." That reminded me that other than commitment and mice, there isn't much else I'll allow to scare me, so I cowboy'd up and played the rest of the afternoon...
Practicing in the "bowl", never did make it to the top ring... next time.
My first impression of the sand dunes was just outside of the ranger's station... 
apparently, there are frequent "serious accidents"... not to make one nervous, but it does. Unfortunately, we never made it to 6 days. Right after taking this photo, the life flight helicopter arrived and the recount began... Perhaps this and the overly excessive warning talk from my bro-in-law, were the catalyst for the development of some good old fashioned fear deep inside of me.

There is no way in heck I was going to try to go up that mountain... but I did get the pic my bro-in-law took from the top. If you look very closely, there I am standing at the bottom....

Stopped to admire the full moon moment before heading home... absolutely beautiful.

there sure is nothing like a good harvest moon! I tried to get a picture of one when I was in new york this summer... it was a junk shot.
